Baby measuring small

I went for a growth ultrasound and they said my baby is measuring in the 9th percentile. I'm 24 wks along. I went 4 wks ago and she was measuring small then too. I have to go back in 4 wks for another scan. Now I'm worried. Has anyone been through this? Also, when I went for my first trimester screening they said the baby was measuring small too. Husband and I are average sized. I was 6 or 7 lbs at birth and he was 9. His mom had big babies and my mom had "normal" sized babies.

My baby is measuring small too. I've only had one ultrasound though and she was in the 15th percentile. Really surprising to me because while I'm 5'5'' my husband is 6'5'' so I had been worried she would be giant. I talked to my doctor about my concerns and she said as long as baby continues to grow, that is really all that matters. She's in the range and even though it's lower, long as the baby doesn't keep dropping into lower percentile that's the key. I would think if our babies aren't growing the way they should, the doctors will look into it more 😊 hang in there! My thoughts were as long as she's ok in there, I'm totally fine with her being on the smaller side for delivery!

I'm currently seeing a specialist bc my girl is measuring 8 days small.... she's never measured according to my due date. I'm a nervous wreck too :/ I'm hoping she's just gonna be on the smaller end weight wise and that nothing is wromg. We go back on Wednesday
